Can the white wheel inserts of older grillls be purchased somewhere?

I have a few 6" wheels from kettles and 8" wheels from older Genesis where these white inserts have become brittle and are even broken.
I am talking about these old style white rings with "Weber" stenciled into:

The wheels are ok. I would just like to replace the white rings. Is there a source for these?

Thanks everyone

I am just looking for the white plastic rings which are clipped into the wheels. On most grills they disintegrate due to the UV exposure. They are either broken or missing completly.
Like this old 1000 I have sitting around.

Thanks Jeff. I bet they are easy to make with a 3D printer.

Hey, if someone gets a line on them, post up the info as others might want to buy some. I might be in for a few sets if they are reasonable.

Not me. I understand that Uncle Al kind of dropped off the WKC radar. I wish someone else would pick up the mantle.
